Targeted the people who gathered on the 14th of march or those who expressed one position to bashar the regime to they knew that the policy of syria was to pave the way for iranian bret being influence in lebanon. The balance of power is now in favor of hezbollah whose armed wing is considered a terrorist organization by the west and the arab league has secretary general has denied any role in the killing and questioned the legitimacy of the tribunals before indictments were issued. Called it an israeli u. S. Tool and vowed to never to hand over the suspects the lebanese government i dont think it will refrain it will say that its not within its capacity to arrest those people that means the tribunals should refer the case to the u.

Several rockets have struck afghanistans capital kabul injuring 19 people at least one rockets landed near the main diplomatic district in tact coincided with the countrys Independence Day. Only 2000000 people in gaza are facing power shortages as the only power plant there is forced to shut down thats because israel has cut off fuel shipments to the territory israel says in response to rocket attacks and fire bombs by the Palestinian Group hamas which controls gaza well how many forces live for us in west jerusalem heidi this is a tactic that israel has been used to has used before in several occasions to put pressure on gaza whats the impact in gaza. Well weve been speaking to the Electricity Company authorities there and they say that this is you know happen as of 10 am local time so just over 15 minutes ago that the shutdown would take place and that would mean that the amount of electricity being supplied would be reduced to just 3 or 4 hours on and then up to 16 hours off so that is something that affects of course the whole industry and society will as you say affect some 2000000 people are also talking about the impact on Sewage Treatment that that will have to end and it will mean a return to pumping last amounts of rule sewage straight out into the mediterranean at a time of course in high summer when people do use garzas beaches as a bit of a respite from the heat and humidity as you say this is all tied to the recent rise in tensions which is included rocket attacks which is included those incendiary balloons and overnight a 7th straight night of israeli air strikes on gaza israel saying it targeted underground targets infrastructure belonging to a mosque that has been attempts to mediate an egyptian delegation was inside gaza on monday they returned to israel with a series of demands trauma mouse including help with Infrastructure Projects allowing more material into the strip allowing workers once again to go out and work inside israel those that of course been shut down by coronavirus instructions among other things and so much now depends on how that egyptian mediation goers how to let me ask you about Something Else briefly were seeing stories that israel is reacting to this is destines that the u. S. Could sell f. 35 fighter jets to the u. A. E. Whats going on there. Because there was this deal between the u. A. E. And israel brokered by the United States for as long as ation relations and there had been some speculation that part of the motivation for the u. A. E. Would be to lift some of the dollars on its access to very advanced u. S. Weaponry and that that would be something that would suit both the u. S. Administration and indeed the u. A. E. Obviously and chief among those concerns from the israeli side is the idea of. Purchasing f. 35 fighter jets israel maintains works to maintain something with the nickels qualitative military edge in the resume meaning that it has superior military hardware to other neighboring states in the region and that it is works to ensure that u. S. U. S. Does not sell such material elsewhere well the question is does this deal open that up the Israeli Intelligence chief the masada chief Justice Cohen who arrived in abu dhabi on monday for more talks on this normalization deal has been quoted by the. News agency news news station as saying that he would never allow such weaponry to be bought by other states in the region so its unclear really exactly the extent to which israel maintains its effect a veto over such u. S. Arms sales whether this could be some sort of tension in these talks as they go forward as how aforesaid reporting for us from the west or islam harry thanks very much turkey and qatar have signed a deal with libyas u.

The u. K. Government built on bricks it and taking back control has instead been losing it control of the economy jobs social care even education all thanks to corona virus now the borders seem under threat as well Asylum Seekers have been a riving in small boats for weeks hundreds on some days in the fine summer weather. We should have written in the Ruling Conservative Party m. P.

Early possibly made his own journey to britain from afghanistan 13 years ago the government wants to find somebody to blame and refugees are the easiest scapegoat so we have been blamed for the problems that we have not created so the public attention is goes away but im making the government responsible and accountable for their inaction no action wrong action and then i look look all these people are in waiting and they are you know bunch of migrants its just human beings and we deserve dignity and respect in future britain outside the European Union will remain attractive to some seeking asylum but bricks it means theyll be no recourse to common e.
